These stories are the tales of how Sean learned discipline and the martial arts skills that have served him so well: from his time in college, where a series of accidents leads to him finding his sensei, to his life at Boston Implantables as one of their most gifted and inspired engineers, to becoming one of the more successful serial killers of the superhero era.

This collection is divided into three sections. The first covers his college days, where he learns how to use his gifts. The second is his time living in Boston, where he slowly begins to follow the path of most avengers into darker and darker behavior. The third are a few bonus stories.
